    Lucia Blayke on Injustice, Partying, Surviving & Liberation

    Lucia Blayke is a Liverpool-born, London-based activist, cultural icon and force of nature who has dedicated her life to fighting for trans rights and creating spaces of joy in a world that too often reduces trans lives to debate and suffering. From organising a vigil for the Orlando shooting at just 16 years old, to founding Harpies — the legendary queer party night — and establishing the Transpire Foundation, an organisation working to bring down unemployment rates in the trans community, Lucia's work is driven by one clear mission: justice, celebration and survival. There's a reason why GAY TIMES called her "the voice of a generation". On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lucia dive into the formative moments that made her who she is, including her working-class roots and family history of standing up to injustice. They discuss why she organised the Orlando vigil and the backlash she received from right-wing media and why representation matters — from believing everyone is sexy (except Nigel Farage) to creating spaces where trans people can just exist. The conversation touches on the Transpire Foundation's workshops for trans people, why transphobia has quadrupled since Brexit and the importance of celebration as survival.

    Joelle Rotsaert on Trans Healthcare, Aesthetics & Childhood Shame

    Joelle Rotsaert is a trailblazing trans woman, entrepreneur and founder of Injectable London, one of the UK's leading aesthetic clinics. As a registered nurse and aesthetics practitioner, Joelle has built a practice centred on providing exceptional, affirming care — particularly for the trans community. Beyond her clinical work, Joelle is the visionary behind Transsthetical, an initiative training aesthetics professionals to better serve trans patients and working toward creating a comprehensive one-stop healthcare clinic for the trans community in London. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Joelle dive into the formative moment that changed everything: writing an essay at age seven in an all-boys school and the shame that came with reading it aloud to her classmates. They discuss how children accept difference until they're conditioned not to, the bullying that started when the school became mixed, and how her grandmother's beauty rituals shaped her early understanding of femininity and self-care. The conversation touches Joelle's first experience meeting a trans woman, navigating the aesthetics industry as a visible trans woman, and the science behind treatments like Botox, fillers and collagen production. Joelle also shares her vision for Transsthetical — a dedicated fund and location offering everything from laser hair removal to hormones and surgery for the trans community — and where she finds her power in changing people's lives.

    Sami Abu Wardeh on Comedy During Genocide, Melting Pots & Code-Switching

    Sami Abu Wardeh is a Palestinian-British comedian, writer and content creator whose sharp wit and cultural commentary have made him one of the most exciting voices in UK comedy. Raised in exile in Kuwait, before moving to the UK as a teenager, Sami has become a leading voice of the Palestinian diaspora in the arts and comedy. Whilst his viral sketches tackle everything from identity and class to politics and social media, Sami has built a following by speaking truth to power with humour that doesn't pull punches. Beyond the laughs, Sami addresses the difficult conversations — from performing comedy during a genocide of his own people, to navigating what it means to be Arab and British in a country that constantly tries to put him in a box. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Sami dive into the formative moments that shaped who he is today. From growing up in the red light district of Dubai where he witnessed the full spectrum of humanity, to the complicated relationship creators have with social media platforms, and why the algorithm keeps us divided. The conversation touches on being misunderstood (across race and class), the pressure to constantly create content, code-switching and why Sami has moved away from wanting to annoy people toward just wanting to make really good comedy.

    Perfection Doesn't Exist: Stranded Abroad, Missing History & Going Independent

    Where have we been for the past few weeks? In a crazy, unexpected, turn of events Bimini was stranded abroad... and that's what this episode of The Pieces is all about. In this deeply personal solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini opens up about one of the most challenging periods in recent memory — from missing the biggest trans rights rally in UK history due to flight cancellations, to being stranded in Dubai airport for 24 hours during missile strikes, to making the bold decision to leave their major label and become an independent artist. Fresh off winning LGBTQ+ Podcast of the Year at the Gaydio Awards, Bimini reflects on the importance of platforming diverse voices and creating space for nuance in a world that increasingly feels divided. This episode tackles the infighting on the left and why progressive movements need to stop one-upping each other if real change is going to happen. Bimini also shares the terrifying experience of being stuck in Dubai with alerts warning to stay away from windows, the devastation of missing a historic moment for the trans community at Wembley, and the reality that the world feels like it's gone mad. But there's hope too. Bimini announces their journey as an independent recording artist, sharing excitement about their debut album of "electro-punk" music and the freedom that comes from finally making art that feels authentic.

    Czech Hunter Schafer on Social Media Censorship & Reclaiming Trans Slurs

    Czech Hunter Schafer is the anonymous voice behind one of the most unapologetically honest, and hilarious, meme accounts on the internet. With a following built on sharp wit, cultural commentary and zero filter, CHS has carved out a space that refuses to sanitise the trans experience for mainstream comfort. Her viral content — from memes about trans healthcare to observations about DL guys and the realities of navigating the world as a trans woman — has resonated with millions, making her a defining voice for a generation that's done playing respectful. Beyond the memes, CHS is a fierce advocate for trans rights, community solidarity and finding power in humour even when your existence is politicised. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Czech Hunter Schafer dive into the formative moment that changed everything for CHS, and led to the realisation that she was a trans woman. They discuss the importance of meeting trans people in real life versus online spaces, reclaiming slurs within the community, and why the discourse around being "trans enough" is toxic. The conversation touches on the origins of her account name, creating content that feels authentic versus curated, navigating censorship on social media and why passing culture is exhausting. CHS also shares where she truly finds her power — spoiler: it's in the dolls and the trans community. Don’t forget to subscribe and don’t miss new episodes of The Pieces every Tuesday!

    Bessie Carter on Acting, Alcohol & Challenging The System

    You might recognise her from series such as Bridgerton, or acclaimed plays such as Mrs. Warren's Profession. Bessie Carter is an actress, producer and a creative force. The daughter of acclaimed actors – and once-in-a-generation talents Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton – Bessie has carved out her own path in the industry, not just as a performer, but as a producer determined to tell stories on her own terms. Beyond her work on screen, Bessie is a passionate advocate for questioning the status quo, whether that's challenging societal expectations around femininity or interrogating the alcohol industry. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Bessie dive into the formative moments that have made Bessie who she is today – including the school experience where she realised her wings were being clipped, and the pressure on young girls to be “polished corners of the temple”. Bimini and Bessie talk about the importance of questioning systems that don't serve us, they call out the normalisation of alcohol in culture and the power of living with intention. Bessie also shares her journey with ADHD, the link between substance use and undiagnosed conditions, and where she truly finds her power.

    The Algorithm Doesn't Care: Reclaiming Softness In A Rage Economy

    In this solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini is taking to the microphone to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: how algorithms, outrage culture and social media are reshaping our capacity for empathy and connection. Fresh from the Attitude 101 launch celebrating trailblazers - including Bimini's manager Simon Jones - and inspired by Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski's impassioned speech about real political change, Bimini reflects on why we're living in such a divisive time. This episode dives deep into why online anger dominates algorithms, how platforms profit from outrage and why negativity spreads faster than kindness. Bimini unpacks the role of media in framing debates as binary conflicts, the danger of judging entire human beings from 30-second clips and how compassion fatigue is eroding our ability to see nuance. The conversation explores binary thinking culture — you're either this or that, with no room for complexity — and the exhaustion faced by marginalised communities who are forced to constantly defend their right to exist. Bimini asks the critical question: who actually benefits from moral outrage online? The answer? You'll have to listen to find out.

    GIRLI on Her Queer Awakening, Lesbian Erasure & Finding Her Power

    Since bursting onto the scene, GIRLI (the stage name for pop star Amelia Toomey) has used her platform to encourage change. Known for her unapologetically queer, feminist anthems, GIRLI has carved out a space in music that is bold, confrontational and completely authentic. From tackling toxic masculinity to celebrating queer joy – and even throwing tampons into the crowd at gigs to challenge the societal taboo around menstruation – her music has become a rallying cry for a generation refusing to fit into neat boxes. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and GIRLI dive into the formative moments that have shared GIRLI into who she is today – from the moment she realised that both queerness and a musical career were possible – to embracing her power to create change. They discuss creating positive queer representation, the erasure of lesbians in women’s history, the impact of the AIDS epidemic and the colonisation of sexuality across culture. Plus, GIRLI reveals where she truly finds her power... Don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes of The Pieces every Tuesday!
